Migration was a popular topic request in 2012 so we are excited to bring you J. H. "Jay" Fonkert's presentation Getting to Here from There: Following your Ancestor’s Migration Trail. Join us on August 13 to learn about how to research your migrating ancestors.

Date: Tuesday, August 13, 2013, 8:00 pm Central

Description: Every migration story is different, but learning about common migration routes helps us understand the migration possibilities for our individual ancestors. Learn about major 19th Century American migration routes, as well as how to look for clues for the routes taken by your particular ancestor.
